Here's a few opinions on the snippets from that article that you provided.

quote:

---

Are you actually hot, or have I just made that up so I won't get bored and eat all this bread, which is awesome?

---

I could see it happening. Often I have looked at a guy and had the question of "is he hot or not?" going through my mind. I often have to make a decision whether someone is hot or not. Of course, if they are very hot, bread or the decision is not necessary, it's just ON. I might do this when I'm bored but I admit, I assess pretty much everyone I come across from the opposite sex. Makes me sound lewd eh?

quote:

---

Finally! You're looking at me. Chin's okay. Nice eyes, mouth . . . wait. Is your hair kind of gay? Oh. You looked away. I didn't like you anyway. I'm bored. I want more bread.

---

I guess so. I guess you look at particular features and assess whether you like those bits or not. Again, see above re boredom. Yes, I do the "you don't like me" stuff as well in my head. It's not really a running dialogue such as that. Just an analysis with no internal wording.

quote:

---

But I wasn't going to be the one to stick my neck out, because that's your job. I wonder if your friend's girlfriend is going to be, like, a pain if I don't ask her to be in our wedding?

---

I always leave it up to the guy but that's because I have an unaspected Venus.

No, I don't think about friend's girlfriends or anything like that.

Why aren't you here yet? My breasts look so good. But I'd better not catch you looking at them, because then I'll think that you think I'm easy. I have the greatest life! I am so pretty. You're 5 minutes late. I look like a total **** . Where are you? You're 10 minutes late. I'm totally going to be a single mom.

---

I can understand the indecision but normally don't think about my breasts. I agree definitely about the looking bit, see the discussion a few pages back.

quote:

---

Oh, wow. Here you are. I am so crazy. You're cute. Like the suit—a little rumpled, neat but not trying too hard. If you want me to fall in love with you, you're going to have to do something about that hair.

---

Yes at the start if the hair affects you. Later on, you just tell them that the hair needs to be changed.

quote:

When I disappear briefly to get my jacket, I think I'll take off my underwear so I don't have panty lines. But I'd better put them in my bag in case you take me to a place that sells wings or jalapeño poppers.

---

I don't do stuff like this but I'm not a typical girl.

Hmmm, fair enough but keeping astrology aside, I wonder why is it that majority of women find it socially inappropriate in this day and age to ask a guy out? Its not like a confident guy will find such a prospect intimidating. On the contrary, it kinda brings out in the air, the confident nature of a woman.

Well if genetic balding runs tight in a guy's family, you may wanna cut him some slack on this Lol! He isn't gonna be keeping thta luxurious pelt too long so let him enjoy it while its still on his head .

OK, I just think maybe it's the natural polarity of men and women or at least the standards in society that women are to be seen as demure and submissive and men to be seen as assertive and pro-active. Also it has to do with feelings of being rejected if you are rejected when you ask someone out. I think it depends on the situation though and your mood. If I was feeling great about myself and had 100% confidence that I could make a strike, I could consider it. It's always easier to leave rejection to the other party.

---

Personally I don't find that prospect attractive to tell you the truth but I have obviously made exceptions in that area Lol! I do like a confident woman to take charge of a given situation . Not to the point where she starts intruding on my space mind you, but I for one don't mind equal sharing of power. Besides, a good tango involves an power struggle . If anything, such a prospect could be very sexy Lol!

blame you for my monologue in the car about my parents' dog's nail fungus. If you don't ask me a question in 5 seconds, we're not meant to be. Okay, 10 seconds. Fifteen. Ah, finally: "Do you like your job?" A little stiff, but you made the effort, and you are so lucky you said something before I reached 100.

---

I wouldn't let the conversation stray to this point. If it did, I'd just drift off without them noticing anyway. I'd change or divert the conversation.

quote:

---

Excellent restaurant choice—elegant but not stuffy. The hostess doesn't have our reservation. Great. Now you're going to freak out on her and embarrass me . . . Oh, you just said, "No big deal. We'll get a drink at the bar while you work it out." I'm aroused by your restraint.

---

No, I'd sympathise with my date.

quote:

---

Wait a minute: You like the hostess! It was dark when we met. Did you remember me as younger, or blonder, or thinner? Like the hostess? I was lying when I thought I didn't want you to look at my breasts. Stop reviewing the wine list and look at them! I don't like you anyway.

---

Yes, I'd notice this. One of my pet hobbies in public space is guys watching girls. So obvious when they do it. Wouldn't comment on it if it happened here but it would make me feel that I wasn't important.

quote:

---

I have to think of something flirtatious to say, to see if you respond favorably. Thank goodness I've only had one drink, so I'm still aware that "I'm not wearing any underwear" is not a good choice. Did you just say the wine list looks "approachable"? "Tell me you did not just say the wine list looks approachable." Whoa. Did I say that out loud? That was mean. Why do I have to be sarcastic when I'm feeling needy?

---

No, I don't need to do that. When I'm on song, I don't have to plan to say things. Of course, I have stock standard phrases that I pull out when I want to attack someone or something but not when it comes to plain old friendly repartee.

quote:

---

Oh, you're blushing and saying, "I'm just nervous because you're really pretty," and now you look embarrassed you said that. But trust me, it was the right thing to say. We're such a good couple. It's totally cool if your friend's dumb girlfriend wants to be in the wedding. But she can't be a bridesmaid. She can do the guestbook or something.

---

I'd be embarrassed too. I'd shut down if someone gave me a compliment. Don't think about the girlfriend either unless I knew her and I wouldn't be thinking of "wedding" either on the first date. No way, wedding is way down the line.

am putting my bare feet on the couch next to your legs. Wow. If you didn't get the memo on that one, you're past hope. Maybe you just don't even like me. I am making this really easy, dude. My toes are now touching your leg. Did you watch me walk to the kitchen and decide my ass is too fat and now you're trying to think of an excuse to leave? Do I say something? No. My job is to wait for . . . wow, your hand is on my knee.

Wouldn't get that intimate that quick.

You're pulling me toward you. I am scared you have bad breath. Not too fast, very good, start off slow. I want to feel like you're dying to sleep with me but not like you're worried I won't. I can't believe I need everything to be perfect; it's going to be my undoing. I wonder if I'll date when I'm a single mom.

---

I'm thinking about my bad breath. No single mum stuff going through my head. Don't think about the mechanics of the situation either.

quote:

---

Should I put my legs up in the air, or is that too much? Why am I having sex with you? Oh . . . why not? I remember when I was younger and thought I was going to be a virgin when I got married. Now that is funny.

I am so glad I didn't eat any carbs or sugar for 3 days. My stomach is so flat! I like looking down at it while you're on top of me. It's so weird that I'm always thinking about getting married. I wonder how many times I have to have sex with you before I can make you buy better sheets. I wish I were more like you. You don't seem to have a whole lot on your mind.

---

Don't think about positioning myself in bed. Don't think about my diet before a date either.

quote:

---

I am so in love. I am also relieved I'm not going to be a single mother. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I know why there is a giant ring associated with getting engaged, because every time I look at it, I feel enormously soothed.

---

I'll say yes to the ring on the basis that it validates you as a person, in that the male is able to bring supplies to a female. It's a lot like the male bowebird with the biggest mound and greatest number of decorations on it getting the best female partner. Also it makes you feel better against other girls if you have a good ring and they notice it too.

Well I think the article is trying to emphisize the point about women thiking long term prospects when it comes to dates and mating. Its scientifically proven unfortunately Lol! Obviously, given the modern day and age, things have changed but overall, this little aspect still happens to hold the basic modus oprendi of dating.

I should tell you Xodian that I don't think that I'm a typical girl either. I'm very different from most girls. You have to ask some other people on here about it as well. I suspect girls like PA and BM might be similar to me though.

The how to hook an Aqua thread is quite funny. They think I don't know what I'm talking about, that's fine.

Back to Xiodian's question because I only skimmed through that ~ which is probably the true answer. I just wouldn't think that much.

See, that list, Mr X, not direct and forthright enough for the Godzalan lady. There are ladies who like to dissect and analyse to putrefication such matters. But we're not the types to sit around wondering if we look pretty reflected in a wine bottle.

So, today, when i got back Tim's sheet, i read what he wrote. Blushed. Giggled a bit. Blushed some more. And then, FOR WHATEVER REASON, i had this inexplicable URGE to... i probably shouldn't tell you this, i'll be made fun of forever,... but i had this urge to rub my lips against his writing. Against the pencil marks. I don't know WHY!!!! But i did.

That line just kept repeating itself in my brain. I-...
